Today I'd be visiting Colditz Castle, but it was a trek to get there. Could everything possibly fall into place and go according to plan? Only time would tell…

Germany Day 4
Now the railway journey could begin, starting by travelling to Dresden, exploring there, and taking a train to Kurort-Rathen to hike up to Bastion Bridge. Just what you want the day after doing 40 miles on foot.

Germany Day 3
At last the Berlin Marathon was about to start, a race that for months I wondered if it would actually happen. Question is, how would the heatwave we were forecast affect it?

Today I needed to collect my race number, and the rest of the day would be for relaxing... or not.

For our next adventure we would be travelling around Germany, Italy, and Greece; starting with Berlin. Everything was planned by ourselves, and would be a bit of a practice run for an eventual trip to Australia.
